Building the Nest

One of a selection of images taken on Skomer, Pembrokeshire during the Spring. The Puffins start to arrive in March/April very thin from their long journey home. They nest and build up their strength for the birth of their young and can be seen arriving in with beaks full of sand eels for these young from May onwards. They have mainly left again by mid July.

This puffin is gathering nest material and disappears regualrly below ground to the burrow making all ready for the new chicks.
